  • Excellent solution for FAQs

    I used this block with some custom CSS styling to create a responsive frequently asked questions area of a site.

  • easy to use

    Nice block editor integration, super easy to use. I like the opportunity to pick different headline types for each accordeon block what helps doing SEO.

  • Works well and easily customizable with CSS

    Does the job quite well. Simple and straight forward. However, it would be nice to smooth the movement (there’s some kind of small jump at the end of the opening and the beginning of the closing)

  • Issues with LiteSpeed Cache

    Great plugin, but it often won't work in Chrome or Edge, and often randomly will work. a bit glitchy! We have the LiteSpeed Cache Plugin and is probably an issue with the combine CCS or JS.
